weird build error in my environment

[joakim]

This probably only affects me in my environment, but I've never seen
this type of error and I'm curious: what could I have done to cause this?

bzr pull
make clean bootstrap

A quick web search suggests you try collapsing the expression

  els=`echo $$wins | tr ' \011' '\012\012' | \
            sed -e 's|\(.\)$$|\1/|' -e 's|^\./||' -e 's|$$|*.el|'`; \

in compile-last into a single line (something that I will do anyway).

Actually, try this:
